Every payout, written down.
We keep a plain record of what eighteen American sweepstakes casinos actually pay, how long they take, and what they ask of you first. No scores we cannot explain.
The ledger, as it stands today
Figures observed October 2026. Redemption times are the median of verified member reports, not operator claims.
What each column records
| Column | What it records | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Rating | Our composite figure, 0 to 5 | Weighted: payout speed 40%, package value 25%, terms 20%, support 15% |
| Redeemable | Sweepstakes currency in the welcome package | Only this portion can ever become a prize |
| Payout | Median time from request to funds received | The single number operators are least keen to publish |
| Floor | Minimum balance before you may redeem | Sets how long you must play before any redemption is possible |
A ledger is only useful if the entries are comparable. We record the same six fields for every operator, in the same units, revised when terms change rather than when a marketing calendar says so.
If you want only three names
These three clear redemptions inside half a day and ask for a 1x playthrough. That combination is rarer than the category’s advertising suggests.
Four things worth knowing
Gold Coins are not money. They cannot be redeemed, traded or cashed. Only Sweepstakes Coins, or the equivalent promotional currency, may ever become a prize.
You never have to buy anything. Every operator in this ledger offers a postal entry route. It is slower and less convenient, which is the point of the purchase option, but it is free and it is real.
Verification happens at redemption, not at signup. Expect to supply identity documents before your first payout. Operators who verify early tend to pay faster.
Your state decides. Washington and Idaho are excluded almost everywhere. Michigan, Nevada and Montana are excluded in places. Check the entry before you register.
